St. Aloysius’ boys’ basketball team is starting the season with a busy week, and thankfully did not have to wait long for its first victory.

Anthony McCloud and Carson Henderson scored 11 points apiece as the Flashes defeated Washington School 26-24 on Tuesday.

Henderson went 5-for-6 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter to help the Flashes (1-1) stay in front. They bounced back from a loss to Madison-St. Joe in the season opener on Monday.

The game against Washington was also St. Al’s second in a stretch of three games in four days. It will be on the road again Thursday against Delta Streets.

Germantown’s Devin Moore finished with 13 points, with nine of those coming from the foul line. C.J. Rankin scored 14 points and Sam Funchess had 16.

The Vicksburg Missy Gators’ season got off to a disappointing start with a lopsided loss to Germantown.
